UPDATE: the owners of the two dogs that i found last thursday evening have contacted us and they are on their way home as i write this. they saw one of my signs.
turns out they belong to an old high school friend of mrs. 88.
aside from the uncanny amount of extremely potent poops that they would produce and leave around my studio, they will be missed. (yes, i walked them regularly...duh...lol)
their names are LUNA and GORILLA.
good mutts.
thanks to all for the advice!
CASE CLOSED.
